Looking for a luxury Manhattan hotel is like looking for an orange in a citrus orchard. New York City is the trend-setter for so many things, and hotel accommodation is a first priority. Originating so many of the world’s ideas of style, excellent service, and extreme poise, New York City is like none other in the world. Manhattan’s reputation is well-deserved, and it proves it over and over on a daily basis. There really is no other city in the world quite like it (and it’s likely that there never will be).

Home to so many artists, writers, and poets, New York City has a special place in the world that has attracted free thinkers for generations. Dylan Thomas, the famous Welsh poet, is among the most renowned. He lived furiously and passionately, and died in the same way. He took his last drink in Greenwich Village’s White Horse Tavern, itself a major literary landmark. Between West 11th Street and Perry Street in Greenwich Village, the White Horse Tavern is still a very lively stomping ground for locals and tourists. It had already been a favorite watering hole for literary greats such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and ee. cummings.

Dylan Thomas really put this on the map when he drank eighteen shots of whiskey (he was trying to set a new record for himself, and he succeeded) and later went into a coma and died. Following this, it became a major stopping- and ending- point for writers and artists. It was the favorite haunts of the Beat poets, such as Jack Keoruac (the king of the Beats), Allen Ginsberg, and James Laughlin, whose literary publishing house, New Directions, opened the doors for many writers of this and subsequent generations . It is fascinating to note, that with all its history, the owner, Eddie Brennan, does not drink any more. A literary tour of New York City should, at all costs, spend part of a grey afternoon, inside the walls of the White Horse Tavern.
